Based on what I’ve seen and read so far, it seems like a lot of folks see software-defined networking (SDN), especially hop-by-hop OpenFlow, as the solution to manual VLAN provisioning. The real problem is the configuration and management of network policy: stuff like QoS, VLANs, ACLs, NAT, VRFs, firewalls, load balancing, etc.

Ask some CTO’s about how their product scales and they’ll whip out a logical diagram showing you redundant networks, redundant firewalls, load balancers, clustered application servers, redundant databases, and SAN storage. How are customer specific implementations managed in their software repository?

Is there a difference between network virtualization and Software-Defined Networking (SDN)? I encourage you to read Keith’s full blog post, but I think the key point he makes is right here: How is this different from Software Defined Networking or SDN? These are all software—does that make them SDN? Are they now SDN?

As a provider, Expedient has to balance five core resources: compute, storage (capacity), storage (performance), network I/O, and memory. It is, however, very well-suited to workloads that need predictable performance and that work with lots of small packets (firewalls, load balancers, other network devices).

The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and load balancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. Since they can be provisioned and configured by software means that they can now be automated using vCAC and vCD.

Tom’s key point is that disaggregating software from hardware—which is kind of a given if you’re buying whitebox networking gear—gives you the (potential) flexibility to repurpose network gear based on the software running on it. This article on putting data in a volume in a Dockerfile is one example.

It starts by building upon the core of virtualized infrastructure, made possibe by VMware’s compute, storage, and network virtualization solutions. Combined with a strong management layer and hybrid cloud solutions, this becomes the software-defined data center (SDDC). Applications are now truly distributed systems.
